Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri, supported by the Alliance for Change, Transformation & Innovation (ACTION), will convene the 3rd National Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards 2026 on August 7 at the India International Centre, New Delhi. Themed “ Krishi Samriddhi 2047: Building a Resilient & Self-Reliant Agriculture Ecosystem ,” the summit is structured across two tracks: Track 1 on Dairy, Nutrition, Fisheries & Livestock, and Track 2 on Crops, Inputs, Technology & Rural Value Chains. Dr. Ramdas Athawale, Union Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, with fellow dignitaries at the 2nd Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards 2025 The theme draws on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for value addition in India's dairy sector, spotlighted recently through India's four-medal debut at the Mundial do Queijo do Brasil 2026, and Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah's cooperative renaissance, which is adding 75,000 new dairy cooperatives under White Revolution 2.0 and 6,000 new fisheries cooperatives under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. The Summit is the ninth in a series of national and regional dialogues Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri have convened since 2024: two previous national editions in Delhi and six regional consultations across states including Bhopal, Chandigarh, Nagpur, Patna, Baraut and Alwar. Together, these editions have brought together over 1,000 delegates and 120+ speakers, spanning policymakers, scientists, cooperative leaders, industry executives, startups and farmers, and have generated 190+ documented best practices and award-winning initiatives from across India's agricultural ecosystem. Each edition has fed grassroots insights into formal policy recommendations submitted to central and state governments, positioning the platform as a sustained channel between the field and the policy table rather than a one-off conference. " This platform exists because India's agricultural story cannot be told from one vantage point alone ," said Dr Navneet Anand, Executive Director, Sustainability Matters . " Krishi Samriddhi 2047 brings dairy, fisheries and livestock into the same conversation as crops, inputs, technology and rural markets, because the transformation we are chasing runs across all of these value chains, not through any one of them in isolation ." The 3rd edition is supported by partners across sectors, including Indian Railway Finance Corporation (a Navratna CPSE), Bihar State Milk Co-operative Federation Limited (COMFED), Odisha Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Limited, SIRA Seeds, Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL), Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), and Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO). " Agriculture touches every one of us, whether we grow it, process it, fund it, regulate it, or simply eat it, and that shared stake is exactly why each of us carries a responsibility to be part of this discourse ," said Dr K C Ravi, Director General, Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards . " The Summit exists to make that participation possible, bringing policymakers, cooperatives, scientists, industry and farmers to the same table so solutions are shaped collectively rather than in silos ,” he added. India's dairy output has grown 70% in eleven years - from 146 to 239 million tonnes - even as livestock and fisheries expand at nearly 7% and 8-9% a year, among the fastest-growing segments of the rural economy. Track 1 builds on this momentum, examining cooperative-led growth across dairy, nutrition, fisheries and livestock. Track 2 turns to the crops-and-value-chain economy - seeds and sustainable inputs, regenerative farming, and the technology and market infrastructure connecting farms to consumers. The Summit is part of a continuing effort by Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri.in, India's leading digital platform for agricultural news and analysis, to drive sustained, solution-oriented conversations on the issues shaping Indian agriculture, from climate resilience to rural finance and cooperative governance, bringing diverse stakeholders into direct dialogue rather than parallel monologues. The day includes an inaugural session and track-wise knowledge sessions, culminating in the Sustainable Agriculture Awards 2026, recognising individuals, institutions, cooperatives, companies and government bodies across 44 categories for measurable contributions to India's agricultural ecosystem.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLC Devesh Kumar on Friday resigned from position in the Bihar Legislative Council, paving the way for Deepak Prakash to get elected and continue as state minister.
UPT20 League Governing Council Chairman: Gaur Gorakhpur Lions owner Vishesh Gaur believes that sharing a dressing room with seasoned international and IPL cricketers gives young players a big boost as it gives them the ideal environment to learn, build confidence, and grow. Sharing the dressing room with players who have represented India or played in the IPL is a huge source of inspiration for youngsters. They get the chance to closely observe how experienced professionals prepare, train and handle pressure. It also gives them the confidence that they can achieve the same dream, Gaur said. Gaur also revealed that wicketkeeper-batter Aryan Juyal will captain the Gorakhpur franchise, with Shivam Sharma serving as his deputy and former pacer Ankit Rajpoot coming on board as head coach. We are pretty happy with the squad. We managed to get most of the players we wanted and have built a balanced team and are satisfied with the combination. Aryan Juyal will lead the team this season, while Shivam Sharma will be the vice-captain. Ankit Rajpoot has joined us as the head coach, and we are confident in the leadership group we have assembled. The Lions made a big splash at the player auction by shelling out Rs 21 lakh to secure opening batter Chaudhary. Explaining the big-ticket acquisition, Gaur said, We wanted to strengthen our opening batting. That was one area we needed to fill after the retentions and Shivam Chaudhary was our top choice. He is a quality opening batter, an experienced leader and someone who can provide stability at the top of the order. Commending the UPCA leadership for taking the league to Lucknow and Kanpur this year, Gaur acknowledged the efforts of BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla and UPT20 League Governing Council Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor. The league is growing every year, and UPCA deserves credit for constantly trying to take it to the next level. Hosting matches across two cities is a big step. It involves more effort and investment, but it will help the league reach more fans. Not many state leagues are doing this, and it shows UPCA's commitment to making the tournament bigger. Commending the UPCA leadership for taking the league to Lucknow and Kanpur this year, Gaur acknowledged the efforts of BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla and UPT20 League Governing Council Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor.
